Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman brooch probably dating to the 1st century AD, possible Colchester one piece type. The brooch is incomplete, only part of the head and the bow remain. The head is oval in plan and is concave on the reverse where the spring mechanism would have been held. The bow is rectangular in plan and tapers towards the break. The only visible decoration are incised lines around the edges of the bow. The patina is green/brown and the object weighs 3.3g and measures 20.72mm in length and 17.28mm in width. See Hattatt, R. (2007) A visual collection of Richard Hattatt's Brooches, Oxford: Oxbow: 155-6 for examples of this type.
